Shopping is a necessary part of life which very few people can avoid. Some
people go shopping more regularly than other people to browse products in shops even
when they do not have much money. This is known as window shopping and allows
people to plan ahead and save for the things they want to buy in the future or wait for
the items to drop in price. Some people spend a lot of time looking for bargains while
others do not think of the price and are happy to spend a lot. Some people believe that
the more expensive the item, the better the quality, but this is not always true.
Sometimes shopping can be stressful when choosing a gift to buy for other people for
a special occasion. It is common to buy a gift voucher so that a friend or loved one can
go shopping themselves at their own convenience. Shopping online is often popular
with people who have a busy lifestyle. People are able to order their necessary and
luxury items from the comfort of their own home, or even on the move. Delivery is
usually free and items are often cheaper than in shops on the high street.

A. important B. unimportant C. need D. want
